Jb. @ZZ whom-.it maycrmcem Be it known that Ronin B citizen of the Unitedit'ites., residing et iiroolqivn, in the coi'inty o; Kings and State et yfew York, have invented new und useful Xinprovenients in Apparatus for iressing vKeivet. of which the foiioivingl is o. specitiein tion.

This invention relates to apparatus adeptl for pressing velvet end it consists in the novel fentureshereineiter described klund claimed.

n object of the vinvention is to provide apparatus ot the character indicated'which includes n holder und e `series of sectionsI detiichably mounted thereon. with ineens `for holding' the sections in position upon the holder. Thevsnid sections are provided with g upstondiiig pins or ncedies upon which the eration and consequentiy ns these pins or needles become bent or disiigured in thei course 'of use the perticuinr section hsiriiig the disgiired pins or needies muy heire-` moved from the apparatus and enotheiksection having' pins or needles of intendedleonfiguration moy he substituted in its steed.

in the accoinpi'inyinng drawing: Figure Li'i view or the apparet/us, Pig.

Fig. 3 is n perspective View orone 'et the sections of the apparatus.

The apparatus comprises a hoord or plete 1 hin/ingr et its edges overturned ienees 2. Detachable sections ere adapted to he mounted upon the plate l and the sections inciiide body portions 3 which in turn carry iipstnnding pins or needles 4. Strips 5 are attached to the iindersides of the body poi'- 40 tions 3 sind the ends of the said strips project beyond the ends of the body portions 3 :is best shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. The

extending: end portions of the strips 5 nre received in the spaces between the liooly of l of the ienges, ns Abest indicated in Fig. 9 ci? the drew ing. When so positioned kthe ends of the` body portions 3 are in Contact with the in-` ner edges of the flanges 2. *feite-W piste 6 is slidnhlv mounted upon the board Ti and' is provided with n slot 7 which receives e threaded stud 8 mounted upon the hoord l. A wing :mit 9 is screwed upon the upper portion of the stud 8 and o, Washer i() is intcrposed below the lower side oi the said nut and the upper surface of the piste 6. v

pinto (i is cinniped in position between the beers against edge oi. the adjacent section provided -with the pins Conseqiientiy it wiii he seen that when the toilow 'pinto 6 is moved up tfni'srd the sections havl ine; the pins the .Si-:eidl sections nre forced in ciose vcon with each other et their edges and??? securing piste 6 With reintionto the seerd i by manipulating the mit v9 the seid sections nre heid in proper posi-l tion with reletion to each other. When the pins, or needies on any prirticiiier section hecome distorted in consequence of use the nut 9 may heioesened whereby the foilow piste 6 may he moved eweviiroin the sections and if "desired compieteiy detached from the boord After this has heen done the secn tions'cfirrying-the pins fi may he removed' from the 4'hoord 'i and new sections may be substituted for those sections having; deineted or distorted pins.

During; vet the veivet' is leid upon the iipstiindinp; ends of the pins @evi/ith the piie o't the velvet disposed in n doivii'werd direction betweenv the pine. Then a heated iron is applied to the boeit oi? the velvet sind the lient esceping from the seine., sind where e dampened cloth is einpioved the heet trensorinsthe the operation' of pressing, the vei-4 moisture in the cloth into steem` which Ypasses through the texture of the cioth end f pile thereof and, streightens the x along the piie up.
